I just finished my very first PC build. Everything booted fine and XP installed without a hitch. First step was to install drivers, but before that get connected to the internet.
That's where I ran into my problem. I have a Terayon TJ715 modem connected to an Apple Airport Extreme router, which is broadcasting wirelessly to 3 Macs just fine. The router is connected to the PC via Ethernet. The Ethernet port on the PC displays a green LED on the left but a flashing amber light on the right.
I'm running XP Pro SP2 (can't update to SP3 w/o internet) and I must say, I'm a complete newb when it comes to Windows (this will be my first Microsoft OS). How do I go about connecting to the internet?
As of right now, the router is up to date, but I don't know about the modem, and the XP install is fresh without any updates/drivers.
Oh and I installed the Airport Utility for windows but it wouldn't recognize the Airport Base Station.
My ISP is Charter Communications
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
